Get out your scrappiest scraps and mix and match as you like because these cute little elephants feed on yarn scraps – the more colours you feed them, the happier the elephant! And the thicker the yarn, the bigger it grows, too! Use up any yarn scraps that have been lying about and knit them into a baby mobile, key rings, cat toy, cuddly pillows or maybe a cover for cooling pads!

The toy is knit in the round and closed with two small seams in the end (alternatives are given). The ears are picked up directly from the body to make for a safe baby toy.

Pattern includes instructions for a small and a big elephant and photo tutorials.

Techniques used are:

knit in the round

simple increases and decreases

picking up stitches (optional. You can also knit parts separately and attach them later)

cast on extra stitches

kitchener stitch/grafting or three needle bind off (photo tutorial included)

The elephants can be made from any yarn quality, but it is practical to use needles at least one size smaller than indicated on the yarn to prevent the fibrefill from showing.
